wolven7The best part about my day, at all, happened 10 minutes before closing. I was standing there, waiting for the new girl to finish up with her customer, so that i could show her how to close the gate, when he (the customer), looks up and says, "Who's listening to the Tom Waits?" Now, you have to understand. I work in a mall. A mall in a gentrified, yuppie area of town. This guy was 40, at least. We had a conversation about how, now that Tom's off the drugs, he has to direct his Crazy into his music, even more. His parting words to me were, "Strange Music Forever." That made my night. ^_^
In other news, as i told you, i've started reading The Elegant Universe, and, in reading the chapters on Special Relativity ("Invariance"), i think i understand what's going on with my sense of time: Different rates of speed, through different dimensions. Aspects of me are perceiving time differently, because time is different, for them. I'm not moving at a constant speed.. but i am cognizant of the input, from each state... And that's... harrowing, but a damn fine thing. You see what i mean?
My head hurts. But that's ok. Later, all.
